Machinist
Full-time · New Jersey · planned for 2027
You'll be the hands-on expert on our first cell. Software plans each job and checks each program before it cuts, and you decide whether it's right. Nothing runs on our machines until a machinist has proven it out.
What you'll do
- Set up and run CNC mills, starting with our planned 5-axis cell, built around a leased Haas UMC-400.
- Prove out every new program on the machine before it runs a real part, and approve or reject the software's plan.
- Choose and build workholding and fixtures.
- Inspect first articles and parts in process, and record the results.
- Machine parts across materials, from aluminum to Inconel, with tungsten and molybdenum to be proven on test parts first.
- Keep clean, traceable work for vacuum and semiconductor-equipment parts.
What we're looking for
- Experience setting up and running CNC mills.
- You read drawings and GD&T.
- Hands-on with standard inspection tools: micrometers, bore gauges, height gauges and indicators.
- Comfortable on Haas or Fanuc controls.
- You care about getting it right the first time, and about saying so when a program looks wrong.
Nice to have
- 5-axis experience; CMM use; CAM programming.
- Hard metals (Inconel, titanium, refractory metals).
- Vacuum or cleanroom parts.
New Jersey. Our first site is being chosen in northern or central NJ.

Software engineer
Full-time · New Jersey · planned for 2027
You'll build the software that runs each machining job, from the quote to the shipped part, with a person approving every step. Today it checks 3-axis CNC programs, and 5-axis for the Haas UMC-400, in early form. Next it quotes, schedules, inspects and records.
What you'll do
- Build and extend the tools that quote, plan, program-check and record each job.
- Grow the CNC program checker. It checks 3-axis programs, and 5-axis for the Haas UMC-400 in simulation; next are tilted work planes and Siemens and Heidenhain 5-axis.
- Connect CAD, CAM, machine data and inspection records into one record per job.
- Build the screens where a person reviews and approves each step.
- Write the tests that prove each check works, including mistakes planted on purpose.
What we're looking for
- Strong Python.
- You've shipped software that other people depend on.
- Comfortable with geometry, real hardware and messy data.
- You'd rather prove a check works than assume it.
Nice to have
- CAD/CAM, G-code or simulation experience.
- Machine data, sensors or factory software.
- Time spent in a machine shop.

Systems engineer
Full-time · New Jersey · planned for 2027
You'll turn machines, robot loading, sensors, workholding and software into one working cell, and keep a person in charge of every step.
What you'll do
- Plan and commission our first cell: machine, robot loading, workholding, sensors and safety.
- Define how the machine, robot and software talk to each other, and the interlocks that keep people safe.
- Lay out the cell and the shop floor.
- Measure the cell's performance, find the bottlenecks and fix them.
What we're looking for
- Experience with industrial automation: robots, PLCs and machine interfaces.
- Mechanical and electrical fundamentals; you read schematics.
- You know machine safety and design for it from the start.
Nice to have
- Robot loading on CNC machines.
- Industrial networking and machine data.
- Commissioning a new line or cell.

Maintenance technician
Full-time · New Jersey · planned for 2027
You'll keep the machines and the cell running and the records honest, so every part comes off a machine we trust.
What you'll do
- Do preventive and corrective maintenance on CNC machines, robots, compressors and coolant systems.
- Keep the maintenance log and the machine checks up to date.
- Diagnose faults, from mechanical to electrical and controls.
- Work with the machinist and the systems engineer to keep downtime low.
What we're looking for
- Hands-on troubleshooting of CNC equipment, both mechanical and electrical.
- Hydraulics and pneumatics; you read electrical schematics.
- Organized and careful with records.
Nice to have
- Haas service experience.
- Robot maintenance.
- Spindle and axis alignment checks.
